Both are non-surgical body treatments at Back to 30, but they do different things. CoolSculpting Elite freezes and reduces stubborn fat, while EmSculpt Neo builds muscle and burns fat at the same time. The right choice depends on whether your goal is fat reduction, muscle tone, or both.
CoolSculpting Elite: targeted fat reduction
CoolSculpting Elite is FDA-cleared to reduce stubborn fat in multiple body areas, from under the chin to the abdomen. It works by cooling and reducing fat cells, with results appearing around two to three months as your body naturally processes the treated cells. There are no needles, no surgery, and no downtime.
EmSculpt Neo: build muscle and burn fat
EmSculpt Neo is FDA-cleared for the abdomen, buttocks, and arms, and it does two things in one session of about 30 minutes: it builds muscle and burns fat, with no needles, no surgery, and no downtime. Most clients see results in about two to four weeks.
How to choose
If your goal is reducing a stubborn pocket of fat that does not respond to diet and exercise, CoolSculpting Elite is built for that. If you want to tone and strengthen while also reducing fat, EmSculpt Neo adds the muscle-building piece. Some clients combine treatments. At your free consultation, our medical team reviews your goals and builds a plan.
